Voodoo Charms

Here at Firebox HQ we don't believe in luck (unless it's to explain away the success of someone we can't stand). Lucky socks, lucky pants, lucky this, lucky that - it's twaddle, innit?

And as for lucky charms, don't even go there. We didn't. But then we discovered Voodoo Charms, and as self appointed arbiters of what's hot and what's not, we've decided that these cute little characters are the latest must-have accessories.

Looking like something that has just escaped from Tim Burton's twisted imagination by way of a needlework class for nutters, each Voodoo Charm has been handcrafted from one continuous length of string. Clever, eh? You can pop them in your pocket, put them on your keyring, attach them to your mobile or simply keep them on your desk.

But what's with all this voodoo business? Well, Voodoo Charms won't turn you into a zombie or subliminally instruct you to sacrifice chickens. What they will do, however, is bring you good fortune. Maybe. You see each stringy character has a special 'power' that is said to help the holder. Big maybe.

For example if you possess the Ninja, nobody can hurt you. Miss Angel, on the other hand, will help you to be your sweet self at all times. Who'd have guessed little stringy thingies could be so utterly irresistible?

Voodoo Charms make brilliant little pressies and keepsakes - whether you're travelling, sitting exams, looking for love or just looking for a cute little thingamabob to carry around. And even if you're a complete cynic we guarantee you'll soon be attributing your success to your stringy companion's bewitching power. So be lucky and get ordering before Voodoo Charms cast their spell over everyone.
